How Exodigo develops AI-driven Autodesk
workflows keeping rail projects on track
Who is ?
$214M Founded in 2021 to reimagine infrastructure delivery with AI
Exodigo is backed by
AI-first engineering services company of venture capital
Investing $50M+ annually in developing new technologies
Significant R&D investment
Deploying advanced technology to reduce underground risk
and accelerate major programs
Current focus
Expanding AI-driven solutions across engineering, design,
and PMCM services
Future direction
Exodigo in the US transportation market
WEST SOUTH MIDWEST EAST
Exodigo in Europe
But is plagued by delays and budget overruns
Demand for infrastructure worldwide is growing
A global problem…
An estimated $106T (€91T) in investment is needed globally
by 2040 to meet infrastructure needs, with $36T (€31T) needed for transport
Capital projects can have contingency budgets up to 20%
…requiring efficiencies, fast
The global construction workforce is dwindling
Innovative technology like ours can fill the gaps and ensure on-schedule progression
Incomplete subsurface data is a multi-billion-dollar problem, worldwide
Exodigo is part of the solution
Nearly half the underground is unknown
Global costs from project delays, damage, and unexpected
issues surpass $60B (€51B) every year
The subsurface engineering market is valued at $500B (€430B) — and is overdue for new solutions. Enter Exodigo

Why we do it
Compound ROI
$20+ saved per $1 spent on Exodigo’s services
Accelerating project schedules, reducing design re-work, and eliminating change orders
ConstructionDesignPreliminary Design
Aboveground surveys procured
Exodigo provides comprehensive above- and below- ground desktop utility maps and identifies stakeholders
Subsurface utility mapping procured; status quo options add another layer of incomplete data to as-builts
Unknown or mislocated utilities discovered during construction results in change orders
Exodigo’s non-intrusive maps and end-to-end advisory provides schedule and cost certainty, ensuring projects run on time and on budget
ConstructionDesignPreliminary Design
Schedule certainty Greater schedule certainty, from
procurement to construction
Providing the most accurate view of a jobsite from the preliminary design phase

Program overview
from the schedule • 500-mile system connecting San Francisco to Los Angeles
• Total project cost: $89B–$128B
• Estimated 11.8 million annual riders by 2030
Current work
• Completed First 5 sites for CP1 – delivered with happy client
• Completed 117 mi alignment record collection (ExoInfo)
• Contracted for 25 Jack & Bore sites – currently mobilizing
• Contracting for desktop utility record collection and automated
cost estimating services to support upcoming Business Plan
updates
Complete, trusted, market-leading data in one package
The result: status quo vs. Exodigo
AI adoption roadmap
Looking ahead
Expanding into full-
service AI engineering Building AI-enabled
geospatial tools
Automating utility relocation designs
